INTERNATIONAL LIVING FOOD SUMMIT II

Vibrant Health Through Plant-Based Nutrition

These historic summits were held at the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach Florida on January 14, 2006, and April 28, 2007. The summits convened to unify the leadership in the Living Food Movement, establishing scientifically based common standards for optimum health.

Leaders from eight countries (with a combined total of 434 years following this lifestyle) agreed on the following standards:

• This way of eating can be further optimized by tailoring it based on individual needs (within the principles stated).

• Benefits derived by following these principles are proportional to how well they are followed.

• We will remain open-minded, and this information will be updated and expanded upon, if necessary, as new research becomes available.

• Diet is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle, yet not the entire picture. A full spectrum, health supportive lifestyle is encouraged. This includes physical exercise, exposure to sunshine, as well as psychological health. Avoiding environmental toxins and toxic products is essential. Paramount is pure water (for consumption and bathing), the use of natural fiber clothing, and non-toxic personal care products. Also consider healthy options in home furnishings/building materials and related items.

All participating leaders agree that eating according to the International Living food Summit Guidelines will significantly address the urgent issues of health, environmental sustainability, world hunger, and a compassionate respect for all life.
